Ground moist.
Cool evenings.
Some parts need rain.
Government corners wrong.
Mr.. johnson, of Collyer, is in our town
Mrs. Miles Knapp was sick last Sunday
Albert Tawney has been at work on hif
timber claim for some time past.
Mrs. Harvey, of Big Greek, has been
visiting friends northeast Of o gallah this
week.
Mrs. Conner, of Coliyer, was visiting at
Mr.. and Mrs. Robb's the lat ter part OF
last week.
An heir arrived at the home of Swan
Loftstead last Sunday. Population on
the increase.
Mrs. Wilcox and her daughter, Mary,
were visiting part OF the week at Mrs.
Eli McCollum's.
The corn eight miles southeast OF
Ogallah is said to be turning red at the
top for want OF rain.
Rev. T. w. Miller filed his regular
appointment at the school house in
district 4 last Sunday.
A gentleman from the southeastern
part OF the state has applied for the
school in district four. He called to see
Mr.. Coffey, the district clerk, Wednesday
evening.
Albert Tolbert has been with us the
most of the summer, but thinks he must
60 back to Rice county to spend the
winter and teach, We are sorry to see
you leave, Albert, but wish you success.
Sam Harvey, of Big creek, has been
grouting his house the past week. Sam
is fixing for winter. Thus the old rule is
brought into practice, "Never put off
for tomorrow what you can do to-day
County Clerk Hoar Was down again
Sunday. A gentleman whose name we
have not learned accompanied him. The
clerk seems to remember his Ogallah
friends, and we are sure they remember
him.
1t seems that the county surveyor can
not agree with the old government sur
vey. Some think the government survey
is wrong, and some think the county sur
veyor is wrong; consequently the two
parties raise quite q debate over this
affair.
A covered wagon passed through our
town the other day, going west. After
getting as far as Collyer, the occupants
made up their minds they had gone far
enough; 80, on Sunday, they passed
through here on their way back to their
home, in Ellsworth county.
II. Harlan was down again last Sunday.
He says he is in the well-drilling bust
ness, and is at work at present west of
Wa-Keeney, and has drilled two wells
for one man and has found no water yet.
He says they are at work on another,
and will drill it deeper than the first two,
which are over ITO feet deep.
The many friends of Mrs. John Jimmi-
son will be grieved to hear of her death,
which occurred on the 4th of July at
Millbrook. They had been married but
three weeks Her death was caused from
the measles settling on her lungs. AL
though it has been three weeks since this
occurred, we feel it our duty to express
our sympathy for Mr.. Jimmison in his
severe loss.
A bond election was held in district Is
for the purpose of bonding the district to
build a $500 school house. The bonds
were lost by one majority. After the
votes were counted the two sides COM
promised the thing, and are to meet the
county commissioners and have district
set off, which they have been trying for,
and then the old district will build their
school house. This will benefit some
and disadvantage none.
Last Friday evening Mrs. Schonstron
was on her way to the store, and when
going around the corner of Mr.. Gerrie's
house she took fainting spell which run
into spasms, and DR.. Farmer was called;
after an examination he decided nothing
but the administering of cloroform would
do any good, after which she could not
be aroused for twenty eight hours She
is improving at present, and we hope she
may so continue. The mother, "Mrs.
McMaster," arrived on the noon train
Saturday.
Eli McCollum thrashed his wheat
last Monday and had 405 bushels from
twenty-three acres, making II 1923
bushels to the acre. This is the largest
number of bushels of wheat that has
been thrashed in Ogalleh township yet
this fall, and we have net heard of any
one who expects to have any more; If any
person has any more we would like for
him to inform US when be thrashes.
This wheat is clean of rye and several
will want seed out of it. The PROBABILITIES
are that the most, II not all Of this, will
